A famous prospector in the United States, John Reeves, recently said that a river in New York he has a veritable fortune at the bottom. Reeves said on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast last December that a whole compartment carrying bones of a prehistoric mammoth had been dumped in the East River, over 80 years ago.

Reeves said: "Let me tell you something about mammoth bones: they are extremely valuable." In this way, a kind of treasure hunt began, looking for the bones that have been since 1940 at the bottom of the East River, which is east of the island of Manhattan.

Finally, the American Museum of Natural History spoke out about the alleged bones, throwing a bucket of cold water on treasure hunters who were looking for the bones: “We have no record of the disposal of these fossils in the East River, nor can we find any record of this report in the museum archives or other sources. scientific”.
